When Lux and Cethus returned to Abingdon Town, the townspeople were preparing for the upcoming evacuation.
Naturally, some of them didn't want to leave because the town was their birthplace. However, the Guards said that if they didn't want to leave, they would need to fend for themselves when the Monsters attacked.
This argument easily convinced them to reconsider their decision to stay. In the end, those who didn't want to leave reluctantly started packing their belongings.
They knew that if they stayed in Abingdon Town, all of them would die without the protection of the Town's Guards, whose numbers had decreased to less than half their original size before the Beast Attacks started.
"Did the Deimos-Ranked Beast agree to help us?" Pietro asked as soon as Lux landed inside his residence.
"No," Lux replied. "He said his ties with Humans died when the former Mayor died. We won't be getting any assistance from him."
